In 2014, Boxley employees kept
tons
of waste material out of landfills and recycled
gallons of oil and antifreeze.
It’s the Boxley Way.

We’ve come a long way
from just 10,361 tons of waste material
and 9,450 gallons of oil and antifreeze
recycled in 2009. It just goes to prove
that there’s always a better way, if you
put your mind to it.

NOTES:
1-Lower number represents reduced mileage
2-Lower number reflects extended life coolant
3-Templeton Paving became a Boxley
Company in January 2011. The significant
increase in the tons of metals recycled and the
addition of the tires category is attributed to
pre-existing stockpiles of metals and tires that
were recycled by Boxley after the acquisition.
4-Trommel Screen purchased in 2012 to
extract aggregate from waste material called
overburden.
5-Represents Backlog of waste block
6-Unused concrete masonry units (CMU) and
the leftover hardened materials that were used
to make them, that were crushed and then
used again as aggregate for new CMU’s.
7-Returned concrete that customers use as fill,
and was not hauled to a quarry as waste. 14%
of this total was used in the surge pile at the
Alta quarry for crushing into aggregates.
WATER CONSERVATION
Water conservation is a top priority in our sustainability program. With the
exception of asphalt, our production processes require millions of gallons of
water annually across our various business lines. From capturing rainwater
to recycling gray water, the ingenuity of our employees has helped Boxley
dramatically reduce the amount of fresh water it uses company-wide.
Aggregate
Recycle millions of gallons of water
annually by capturing rainwater and
runoff in the quarries and utilizing
closed-loop water recycling systems
for stone washing, washout, dust suppression and wheel washing.
Asphalt
Minimal water use in production
and clean-up process.
Block
Zero wastewater is generated in the
block production process. Water used to
wash out mixers is recycled and used for
the production process.
Concrete
Used 2 million gallons of recycled water for
mixer drum rinse and washout. Gray water
is sent to retaining ponds where concrete
sediment settles out and is then reused in the
production process.

THE FUTURE of ASPHALT
In July 2014, Boxley began production at its state of the art
Astec® Double Barrel Drum asphalt plant in Lynchburg, VA, replacing
two older and inefficient plants. With a capital investment of more than
$5.7 million, the plant represents the future of asphalt production
available now through Boxley.
Energy & Emission
Reduction
The Double Barrel Green
System uses water to produce a
foamed, warm mix asphalt that
is odorless, smokeless and
longer lasting. Unlike other
warm mix methods, the Double
Barrel Green System does
not require the addition of
expensive commercial
additives to eliminate odor.
Instead, the injection of
water along with the liquid
asphalt cement causes
the liquid asphalt to foam
and expand in volume.
The foaming action helps
the liquid asphalt coat the
aggregate at a temperature that normally is in the
range of 230 - 270°F versus
traditional temperatures of
300 - 340°F.
Ability to run high percentages of
recycle mix with standard grade of
asphalt
Longer pavement life - Due to less
oxidation of mix and more
uniformity of compaction.
14% less fuel used in the virgin
aggregate drying process
14% increase in production

KEY BENEFITS OF
the Double Barrel
Green System:
Improved workability - The foamed
liquid asphalt coating has a lower
viscosity
No smoke, no smell - The light oils
in liquid asphalt never reach the
boiling point, eliminating the smoke
(vapor) and corresponding smell.

BEYOND
In 2014, Boxley employees and their families donated their
time and energy to clean up parks, greenways, trails, rivers
and streams in the communities where we work, love and play.
Here’s a look at our year in review:

“The thing that I enjoyed most
was the sense of pride it gave
you; making a difference in a
community I grew up in and love.”

with my family knowing I
made a difference.”
John Martin, Piney
River Aggregate
“I enjoyed the walk, the quiet time and a new found
source of serenity. Looking back, the trail needed to be
cleaned and I’m glad I was part of it. I will go back.”

“Personally, my experience as part
of the clean-up was very rewarding.
I not only got to spend time with
my fellow employees outside of the
office…but I was able to contribute
in a manner that cleaned up our
local environment.” Peter G. Flora,

would take a truckload of old
